The fishing trip is over.

With all the rain, I did not fish as much as I would have liked -- more because the rivers were so high than because of the hard rain.

I did a total of about six hours fishing and caught one keepable fish, an 11 inch brown trout, on Sept. 30.

Since then I have harvested all of the potatoes, carrots, watermelon and onions, pulled most of the tomato plants and squash plants.

We still have not had a frost in our garden. We now have produced one red Marconi hybrid pepper, which I will grill the next time I grill anything. If the frost holds off, we might get a few more red ones.

Most people are closing their gardens. In Sunday's column I write about one of the last harvest days at the Yarmouth Community Garden and how some of the state's charitable gardening projects, Plant a Row for the Hungry, have been doing this year.
